stop-parsing-documentsummary.patch Stop parsing the document summary information We were only reading two fields from it: "manager" (which is never actually
used) and "company" (which is only used in the docbook XML export, where if
set it was included in document metadata). Rather than try to fix buffer
overreads in this code, it seems simpler to just excise it.
